It is a joy to serve our Lord alongside each of you. We wish you a Merry Christmas!

"On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him." Matthew 2:11, NIV

May what what was said of the Magi be true of us.

Join us for our annual Candlelight Christmas Eve Service at 11:00 PM on December 24th. It's always a special time of scripture, carols, and communion. Invite your friends, neighbors, and family!

This past weekend was an absolute blast! Our goal was to impact 200 families in a meaningful way with the light of Jesus. Our carolers encountered over 150 nursing home residents, assisted living residents, and individuals and presented them with a small gift. 

Yesterday we packaged up over 200 Christmas Meal kits in what had to be some sort of world record. We had great participation. We distributed meals to 78 families and are still distributing more today and tomorrow. 

Thank you for your overwhleming generosity in supporting this initiative. As of press time we have exceeded our goal of $10,000. Our offering stands over $14,000! We will continue to recieve Christmas offering contributions through the end of the year. We have some exciting additions to our Christmas offering we can't wait to tell you about!

You can participate a few ways: 

In person - drop your gift in the offering bags as they are passed, the box in the foyer, or stop by the church office anytime.
Online: visit www.cvillechristian.org/give to give online and select "Christmas Offering" from the drop down menu. 

Will reflects on the love revealed when God moved into our world through Jesus. Centering on Matthew 1 and the name Emmanuel, this sermon reminds us that God is not distant, we are never alone, and His love meets us right where we are. Even in darkness, uncertainty, and weakness, God draws near—offering hope, presence, and unconditional love through Christ.
